"B.F.P.O.*"
|
Army dreamers.
|
"Mammy's hero."
|
"B.F.P.O."
|
"Mammy's hero."
|
|
Our little army boy
|
Is coming home from B.F.P.O.
|
I've a bunch of purple flowers
|
To decorate a mammy's hero.
|
|
Mourning in the aerodrome,
|
The weather warmer, he is colder.
|
Four men in uniform
|
To carry home my little soldier.
|
|
"What could he do?
|
Should have been a rock star."
|
But he didn't have the money for a guitar.
|
"What could he do?
|
Should have been a politician."
|
But he never had a proper education.
|
"What could he do?
|
Should have been a father."
|
But he never even made it to his twenties.
|
What a waste --
|
Army dreamers.
|
Ooh, what a waste of
|
Army dreamers.
|
|
Tears o'er a tin box.
|
Oh, Jesus Christ, he wasn't to know,
|
Like a chicken with a fox,
|
He couldn't win the war with ego.
|
|
Give the kid the pick of pips,
|
And give him all your stripes and ribbons.
|
Now he's sitting in his hole,
|
He might as well have buttons and bows.
|
|
"What could he do?
|
Should have been a rock star."
|
But he didn't have the money for a guitar.
|
"What could he do?
|
Should have been a politician."
|
But he never had a proper education.
|
"What could he do?
|
Should have been a father."
|
But he never even made it to his twenties.
|
What a waste --
|
Army dreamers.
|
Ooh, what a waste of
|
Army dreamers.
|
Ooh, what a waste of all that
|
Army dreamers,
|
Army dreamers,
|
Army dreamers, oh...
|
|
("B.F.P.O.")
|
Did-n-did-n-did-n-dum...
|
Army dreamers.
|
Did-n-did-n-did-n-dum...
|
("Mammy's hero.")
|
("B.F.P.O.")
|
Army Dreamers.
|
("Mammy's hero.")
|
("B.F.P.O.")
|
No harm heroes.
|
("Mammy's hero.")
|
("B.F.P.O.")
|
Army dreamers.
|
("Mammy's hero.")
|
("B.F.P.O.")
|
No harm heroes.
